The Planet - The Beast

A blog dealing with giant movie monsters got in contact with us recently. They wanted to feature a big spanky image of the main 'god' monster from the film. Mark Stirton, director bloke, asked me to fluff up an image of the beast for inclusion in the site - so I did.

I won't post it here as it's a bit spoilery, but if you really want to look it's on this site Undead Backbrain. The beast is rendered from the original model Mark animated in the movie, this version was rendered in Vue 6, as was the background. The wee chaps are purely for scale - or comedy effect.

Hey...noticed for the first time that the BEAST don't have no JUNK as it were. That is something that my SPFX guy, Ron asked me about..."does the Garum have his manliness?" "NO," I replied. "500 years of running blind through a forest would leave him wanting in that area...that would explain his extreme hostility...perhaps."

Anyway...just noticed that the BEAST of Planet and the GARUM of Darkness, could be brothers.
